Elodie Eiffener

Following my studies at the University of Maastricht, I am passionate about European Public Health. During my PhD at the department of Cardiology at the University Hospital in Munich, I have gained experience in clinical research, as a project manager for large-scale clinical trials centred around digital health/telemedicine and cardiovascular health outcomes. 

Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Unit of Environmental Epidemiology, Department of Environmental Medicine (IMM) at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. My research lies at the intersection of the environment, urbanisation, and health - focusing on the link of urban environmental hazards (e.g., air pollution, traffic noise, limited greenness, urban heat islands, crowded housing) and selected health and wellbeing outcomes, in both children and adults. My work also includes the mapping of environmental health inequities, all within the framework of the Stockholm Environmental Health Program. In addition, I am a strong advocate for the One Health approach, have a keen interest in interdisciplinary teaching and write for the KI Researcher's blog.

I am always open for student supervision, teaching, conversations and collaborations - so please do not hesitate to reach out!

The main project that I am involved in: Stockholms Miljöhälsoprogramm

I have a strong interest in interdisciplinary teaching. I teach a seminar series on One Health for PhD students and lectures on One Health within the medical programme at KI. My goal is to include more interdisciplinary aspects into KI's educational activties. I'll gladly supervise students, teach guest lectures or present on the topics I am working on.
